Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in Philadelphia Ranks #17 in Schroders Global Cities Index by ColdJay64

> Physical risk

Okay, Philly is a damn good city for that. We get almost no disastrous weather, and we're too far removed from the Atlantic to get a proper punch from a hurricane. We're also pretty high above sea level.

> Policy risk

Eh, I guess.

> Median household income

That must be a low weight.

> GDP

There's the NA bias, we basically print money due to the post ww2 power structure.

> Transport

Yeah we got PHL, 30th St station, Septa RR, Septa BSL/MFL, and PATCO. We're a minor port, though.

Policy risk for investors is high in places like Shenzen. Capital controls and CCP influence is high.

Berlin less so but strong organized labor is a potential policy risk.
